With Browne at the helm, the Butler school area proceeded to become a magnificent example of what can be done with rehabitation." Joseph B. Parham, editor of the Maton News and a reporter for the Southern Education Report, gives an incomparable report on Dr. Browne's attempt to raise his school and its community from (quote) rags to riches (unquote). The story begins like this: Dr. Brown, invited Atiantas Mayor Ivan Allen to come and see his school. One raining night the two men set cut for Yonge Street. Shey land the street "a sea of mud," Allen reportedly asked Dr Browne, "You're not going to try 10 get in there?" To which Brownereplied: "That's where I go every day I work there." This is the way it began: with confrontation. The mayer now had 10 believe all he had heard-he had First of all the mayor had the Greet paved Dr. Browne organized needs and priorities. Then he at asked the hardest nut to cracks" urban renewal Two hossing deve were for people of own income one on each side on the school The city on de offered land and a much needed playground was eacted. Joseph Parham, in the SouthErn Education Report describe What else took place A cafe then program was start ed Program and another facultu member were appointed voluntary probaton officers and when any held in tea community gets in double shor held by authoriries a teacher goes to the home to teach the child A. library was enable and new there are books peer child obtained in part through an book fair education classes for nights a week were organized. Today the school has approx 700 students in the kinder through the seventh grade., Many of the community problems have been alleviated and seventysix per cent of the seventh grade graduater now enter high school in 1960 only 54 percent were able to do so. Parham continues: "The tumble down shacks are fewer and the adults are interested in civic affairs. People in the area used it skip voting, complaining the polling place was too far away. Brown had Butler made a voting place and 96 per cent of the adults are registered. In 1935, only four vote were cast against a school-bone issue which received 188 affirmative votes. Browne chuckles with satis faction but worries about the 20 roistered voters who didn't cas ballots." When riots broke out this sum mer in the Vine City and Boule vard area, and not in the Butle school community, it was not 1 matter of luck. As br. Browne ex plained it: "We weren't lucky; we were pre pared. We knew what might happen and had held talk with responsible leaders to head it off." The school has won awards to setting a precedence. Parham ex plains: "The school was named Geor gia's 1936 pacemaker in education al improvement in nationwide, school recognition project cosponsored by the National Education Association and Parade magazine An award was given for Butler community programs to come Juven deney and to redu the dropout rate.

Negroes Win Public Utility Struggle In Mississippi The U. S. Supreme Court this week ruled that Mississippi cannot deny Negroes the Use tre public facilities constructed With public funds. Ruling in favor of Dr. Gilbert Mason and other Biloxi, Mississippi Negros, the high court settled an arising out of an attack on a small group of Negroes by hunreds of whites in June of 1963. The case was won by attorneys of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc, (LDF). Biloxi Negroes, under Dr. Mason's cadership had sought — without uccess -to use the 24 - mile beach along. Mississippi's southern shore. After three years of fruitless litigation. 29 persons attempted to utilize the beach, one of the longest man - made beaches in the world, on Sunday, June 23,1963. An, angry crowd of some 2000 Whites stood by menacing'y as poien officers ordered the Negroes way from the beach. The Negroes eclinod to go and were arrested. Other Negroes were beaten by he whiles. The agent of the asserted owner of the be appeared and ordered the Negroes to vacate. He then called the police. Mississippi police officials were unable to prevent the Negroes cars from being burned and overturned They were aso unable to prevent The police van, in which the Negro Petitioners were traveling to jail, from being titited, causing minor injuries. LDF attorneys argued in, their brief that the Biloxi beach has become entwined with governmental programs and policies and taken on a governmental character. Hence, basing criminal convictions on failure to obey purely ra cial limitations is precluded. LDF attorneys further pointed out that the state and local governments are involved in protecting he beach from Negroes as well as from tides and litter. Mississippi has therefore, LDF atteeys concluded, departed from a rolley of strict neutrality in matters of private discrimination. That state, they say, has in effeet involved itself in active bias subject to the 14th Amendment. LDE attorneys in this case were Jack Greenberg. Director Com sel. James M. Nabrit, III and Metvan Zerr of New York City and R. Jess Brown of Jackson, Mississippi.
